| Q: |
Can you tell us about what assets you utilized? |
| A: |
We used an aerial of Tokyo city, you can see it from around 0:28.
It was used as a dramatic establishing shot for the video. |
| Q: |
Why did you decide to use the assets offered on JOMC? |
| A: |
On the site, there are a lot of excellent aerial shots taken by a drone, and they were perfect for the dynamic scenes we wanted to create. As well as aerials shots from urban areas, JOMC has a fantastic collection of nature images. Scrolling through them showed us another side of Japan that we don’t know. |
| Q: |
How were the reactions to the content you created? |
| A: |
We saw plenty of likes and shares and many comments saying things like ‘epic’ and ‘hilarious,’ so we’re happy that people enjoyed it! |
